The gun midfielder-forward would be much higher up on this list if he played in the country for longer, but there’s no denying the impact Worthington had in such a short time.

The 29-year-old won nearly every award possible in his first season back at Boulder including the Mitchell Medal league best-and-fairest, Fyson Medal (grand final best afield), leading goal-kicker and WA Country Football League player of the year to go with a premiership medal.

The Tigers, who have a strong connection to the Worthington family, stormed to their first Goldfields league premiership in more than a decade in his first season back.

They also made the grand final two years later before going down to Mines Rovers.

A two-time WAFL premiership player at Subiaco, Worthington has since returned to Perth and was appointed as a playing-assistant coach at Scarborough in the Perth Football League’s A-Grade competition.

He finished third in the CJ Jamieson Medal as the A Grade’s best and fairest player in his debut season behind former Collingwood midfielder and South Fremantle champion Ryan Cook (North Fremantle) and Trinity-Aquinas star Jamie Birrell.
